Turbo-Brain on 20-Minute Naps

1. Find Your Spot

Every place has a spot to relax for 20 minutes. Find yours.

One for work, for studies and at home.

2. Set a Timer

Use your phone, and set a 20-minute timer.

3. Relax, and Close Your Eyes

Gradually relax each part of your body. Let go of every thought. Try to think of nothing.

4. Wake Up Gently

When the timer goes off, take a moment. Stretch! Notice how good it feels?

5. Make It a Habit

Every time you feel exhausted or unproductive during the day, take a nap like this.

Even in the bus or train! The timer will wake you, no worries. And you have turbo-brain after! :)

The Science Behind The Hack

A study found that daytime napping, specifically in the early afternoon, improved cognitive performance, particularly in alertness. The analysis included 11 sub-studies with a total of 381 participants, demonstrating that a mean nap duration of approximately 55 minutes was beneficial. However, cognitive performance notably improved even in studies where naps were shorter, aligning with the concept of a 20-minute power nap.

The findings suggest that early afternoon naps can lead to better cognitive performance, with benefits independent of the napper's age or sex, and not significantly influenced by the exact duration of the nap. This is especially relevant for students, researchers or workers seeking to boost their alertness and overall cognitive function in a structured habitual manner.
